We've just spoken with chef Christopher Hora, who will soon be the executive chef at his own restaurant called Hora Bohemian Bistro, slated for the SiLa space in Silver Lake. Hora is an alum of Spago and after bringing his Cali-style fresh market plates to Root in Philadelphia, has been cooking at Crustacean. Hora reveals that the new restaurant will be what he calls "Central European Globetrotter" cuisine and thinks people will especially enjoy his Tartare trio, which will feature steak with Czech toast, tuna, and a changing vegetable prep. Hora is coming up with a lot of terms these days to fit his vision and to that end describes the décor as "gypsy jewel box," maybe like the romantic nook we saw at Vardo recently. Planned for a February opening, HORA will serve brunch, lunch, and dinner with beer and wine, plus he says, "Some fun stuff like different Sangrias and Jesus Power punch." UPDATE: Hora's tentative menu is below.
